The steam-gauge should be so placed
that the pres ure can be read from any
part OF the engine-room, and 1t should
be known to be correct at all times.
Governors should always receive very
careful attention to insure their proper
action. If they are allowed to run dry
or become gummed By accumulations
of dirt and grease they will lose all
sensitiveness of action and not properly
control the speed of the engine The
foundation OF chimney is no place in
which to get rid of the bats and other
refuse brick that may have accumulat-
ell. IT is safe TO watch the builders
very closely, and see that they do not
put tnat kind of material in the Chin
neys they are building for you. Boilers
do not improve by standing idle. They
will rust very rapidly. An idle boiler,
like an idle man, soon wears out.
Sharp chisels should not be used to cut
the scale oil from boiler sheet. You
will cut the plate and do more harm
than good. Use light hammer. A
belt that is slipping and refusing to do
the work that is put upon it can be
made to act all right if the pulleyX
over which it runs are made larger.
Check valves that get stuck open can
be closed by slight tap of the ham,

should be opened as soon as the pres
sure can be shut of and thoroughly
cleansed. -Poloer-Stedm.

Don't Hear Everything.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by all 1t is fully as important
to domestic happiness as a cultivated

which We ought not to hear, very many
which, if heard, will disturb the tenn

detract from contentment and happi-
ness, that every enc should be edu-
Gated TO take in or shut out sounds,
according to his pleasure.
If a man falls into q violent passion,
and calls us all manner of names, at
the first word we should shut our ears,
and hear no more. If, in our quiet
voyage OF life, we find ourselves caught
in one of those domestic whirlwinds
OF scolding, we should shut our ears as
sailor would furl his sails, and, MAX
ing all tight, scud before the gale. If
hot and restless man begins to in
flame our feelings, we should consider
what mischief these fiery sparks may
do in our magazine below, where our
temper is kept, and instantly close the
door.
III, as has been remarked, all the
petty things sad of one by Needless or
ill-natured idlers were to be brought
home to him, he would become a mere
walking pin-cushion stuck full of sharp
remarks. II we would be happy, when
among good men, we should open our
ears when among bad men, shut them.
It is not worth while to hear what our
neigh bOrs saw abOut Our clildreu what
our rivals say about our business, our
dress, or our affairs.
The art of not hearing. though I'M
taught in our schools, is by no means
Impractical in society. We have no.
ticed that n well-bred woman never
hears a vulgar or impertinent remark.
A kind of discreet deafness saves one
from many insults, from much blame,
from not little connivunce in dishon-
orable conversation. Treasure Troue.

worked in a printing Office.
My father was well off, but L had q
pass ionate love for my work, type
setting, and worked in the Office of a
popular daily, much against his will.
The summer was eighteen l became
afflicted with singular disease. ] was
very fair, with gray eyes and golden
brown hair. Those who cared for me
were kind enough to call me fair to
look upon, and L loved my own face
, because it gained love from others.
One day | discovered small black
spot upon my right ear. L wondered
over it very much, and when | saw it
grow from day to day, spreading over
my entire ear in few weeks, it made
me feel terribly.
1 arranged my hair in way to hide
it, but when it spread upon the side of
my face 1 gave up my place and went
home.
Father was frightened nearly to
death over my strange appearance, and
could scarcely believe it afforded me no
pain or inconvenience.
He would have me see physician,
SO at my entreaty he took me to great
doctor in New York. We carefully
concealed our identity, for l was very
sensitive over the matter then.
The case puzzled the learned man,
and in fact we journeyed from city to
city, puzzling every one we visited in
turn.
Some talked learnedly, using a string
of unintelligible medical phrases. But
none prescribed remedy. All the
time it grew and spread, until half my
face was covered.
Our constant travel, and seeing so
many strange doctors, and hearing the
matter so fully discussed, had cured me
of nv foolish sensitiveness.
OF course L would not 90 out with
out a veil, but / ceased to worry and
CRY over it, and could even make merry
about it. / remember telling a Chica-
go doctor, when my face was about
equally divided into two colors, that
was a big dose of "'arf and 'arf.
NV chin became wholly black, and
over half of my forehead, but my nose
and the rest remained white. There il
stopped, and began spreading down
ward over my body.
Then we noticed difference in it.
From being natural the black skin be-
came velvety to the touch. like it some
times is on large mole or birth mark.
oh, but 1 was queer-looking body
then, but became so accustomed to II
that L became careless about a veil, and
would stupidity wonder what the matter
was when people would cry out at sight
of my hideousness.
Then father took me to Paris. II
